Angry Democrat. Lapsed writer.
pinned post!
Today I restarted something I did years ago to combat the never-ending suffering we are facing. I call it Five Minutes of Joy. Basically, itās finding something in your life, generally small, that you take for granted but brings you joy. You sit and āwallowā in that joy for 5 minutes.

Taxpayers are on the hook for another $765 million to ensure four offshore wind farms are never built. Feds will buy out leases off NY, CA, and the Gulf of Maine, bringing total federal payouts to abandon wind leases to $2.5 billion. Art of the deal, amirite?

It is so, so important that we understand this. Gerrymandering and voter suppression is a state issue. We need to put Dems in power in the legislature, governorship, AG and state courts.

Trump/GOPās war of choice in Iran has left Americans poorer & worse off! From the loss of life of American military servicemembers; to high gas costs; massive waste of taxpayer $ on a war; & a weaker position in the world for America with Iran dictating terms! Vote all the Trump/GOP out!

DO NOT GIVE TRUMP MORE WAR MONEY. HE WILL STARTS WARS WITH IT! We cannot call it a defense budget when they've changed the department from Department of Defense to Department of War. It's a war budget. To start wars.

Are you represented by one of these Democrats? Golden (ME-2) Lee (NV-3) Gottheimer (NJ-5) Davis (NC-1) Cuellar (TX-28) Gonzalez (TX-34) Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-3) They need to hear from you ā because these Democrats recently voted with Republicans to let the regime keep spying on American citizens.

Donald Trump inheriting a situation that was suboptimal but honestly fine, deciding to personally intervene, and making everything significantly worse at great taxpayer expense is a perfect synopsis of every single thing he has done as president both times.

If they are not arresting you, you can tell them to leave and that is what they have to do. If they are arresting you, you say that you will not speak to them without your lawyer and you shut up.

The deal is basically Trump getting bored and walking away. We have gained nothing and it cost us lives and billions and billions of dollars. But, assuming Bibi doesnāt blow it up, it does sound like a real deal this time.

I havenāt felt any desire to celebrate July 4 for years. Iām doing it this year. Iām celebrating a group of brave Americans declaring loudly and with force that we would no longer be governed by a tyrant. We did that 250 years ago. And we won against all odds. We can do it again.

So, assuming the present Iran deal holds, does this mean nothing happened and we are now going back to status quo ante with Trump dodging all consequences? No. And there's good reasons to think that we're still well deep in the woods with the energy crisis. š§µ 1/x

The Strait of Hormuz is not open yet. When it does open, look for countries around the world to start building even bigger strategic petroleum reserves. We'll also see a risk premium on Gulf oil. All this = higher for longer prices.
